well check in was very easy, my cabin was not ready until 1pm so went to lunch. from then i took video of ship. if your a non drinker buy the soda pass well worth it to me. all employees were very helpful. when i asked for help in any way. my cabin was small but only one person i got through it. food was above average. only real complain was at breakfast the hashbrowns are to like McDonald's they need to change that. Thursday night dinner was outstanding. weather was great and pools are 24 hrs but last night they close pool that was not very cool. shows were good ice skating show was not as good as 10 years ago. cruise director was very nice. the cruise ship was very cool for the holidays loved the tree in royal promenade love the holiday show. the menu is allot better in main dinning room. i did my time dinning i liked that allot. sea days are my fav we had one stop only and i just shopped. before going alot of ppl wrote ship was to crowed i found serveral spots there were very few ppl. overall i had a good time. the pizza was good and sandwiches in cafe. great cookies. i played vollyball and in line skating.i met alot of nice ppl on the ship. sat night they had a midnight buffet mostly finger foods. great view when ship leaves is very front of ship. this class a ship has nice features peek a boo bridge and very front. i caught a very cool sunrise. many places you can video or take pictures.
i think lower cabins are better less sway if you get in to bigger waves. try to be near and elevator or stairs it matters allot. not noisy i interviewed people on the ship in location. the little putt putt course is very weak. i never got room service. i used dinning room and windjammers and cafe promenade i did not use specialty dinning. middle of ship is a must see shops bars and eatery. casino way to small. schoners bar has a piano bar that was awesome. the guy there was A + good must see.
